Is Hypnosis the Best Way to Stop Smoking?

By Saline Walsh | July 4, 2022 |

It doesn’t matter if you smoke cigarettes or not, you are likely aware of the dangers that are involved in doing so. Smoking remains the single most preventable cause of early death and it could result in many different health issues, from emphysema to heart disease and cancer. If you do smoke, the best choice you can make is to quit now. From the moment you quit, the damage that has occurred begins to reverse itself.

A number of different methods exist to give up smoking. For years, the two basic choices were to either cut down gradually or to quit “cold turkey”. People may have used a variety of substitutes, from chewing gum to snacking on sunflower seeds but its typically met with limited success. In more recent years, people have options such as the nicotine patch, nicotine gum and similar items. These have also met with limited success. One option that you should consider if you really want to give up smoking is using hypnosis.

There are many misconceptions associated with hypnosis and that has kept some people from trying to use it to kick the habit. In essence, hypnosis results in an altered awareness and it appears as if you are in a trance or perhaps even asleep. There are also different types of hypnosis, including clinical and self hypnosis. These have been used for a wide variety of psychological and physical problems, including weight loss, repressed memories and various types of addiction.

When using clinical hypnosis for smoking cessation, the process is similar from one hypnotist to another. After putting you in a state of hypnosis, they will ask you to imagine outcomes from smoking that are fairly unpleasant. Perhaps they ask you to imagine that the taste of smoking is repulsive or that the smell is similar to the exhaust of a vehicle. These help to imprint something on your mind that can begin to change your perception of the habit.

The hypnotist may also take things a step further by helping you to identify the true issues with smoking cigarettes. These include the need for a healthy body and the fact that smoking is poison to the body. They may also impress upon your mind the respect that you should have for your body as well.

Along with using a form of clinical hypnosis, they may also provide you with options for self hypnosis as well. Self hypnosis is something that can be done at home without the use of a qualified hypnotist. It doesn’t put you in the same hypnotic state but it does allow you to alter your perceptions when you do it properly.

About three out of every four individuals is able to be successfully hypnotized. It is a method that has worked for hundreds, if not thousands of people who wanted to kick the habit. They were able to get beyond the habit, not only for a temporary amount of time when the hypnosis was taking place but they were able to give it up permanently.

After noticing significant positive changes in a close friend of mine that resulted from work with tc, i decided to visit houston to avail myself of tc’s services. Not only are the sessions completely affordable, i was pleasantly surprised by the results achieved as a result of the services tc rendered to me over the course of multiple sessions , over a period of months. I will return soon for another session and likely will remain a lifetime customer of this very generous man.

I’ve been seeing TC since 2014 and am so grateful for his help. Great listener and a very knowledgeable professional.

I've had a very positive experience with TC over the course of 5+ sessions (and to be continued). There is something very special about TC and the way he carries himself. TC is the type of person that you come across once in a lifetime. I believe he has a deep sense of how to effectively guide you to inner peace and understand how you tick. If you are struggling with anything in life, curious about what hypnosis is, or just want to learn more about you don't know, I highly recommend seeing him.

I went to TC to help with a bad habit. After speaking with him, he went right to the root of the problem. Stress! Stress was destroying my body physically. Immediately after the first session, I felt lighter and happy. I am 2 months from my first visit. I have lost 13 pounds without dieting. As far as my bad habit, it's no longer a bad habit. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done. I went for 2 sessions. One might have been enough but two reinforced the behavior.

I was a bit skeptical at first but now I'm a true believer. I used to experience 3-5 migraines a week. It was debilitating. I was on the road to taking very strong medicines on a daily basis, so I thought I'd see if hypnosis could help. It did. I have not had a migraine in over a year!

TC LeNormand helped me understand and remove fear, doubt, and other negative traits caused from childhood trauma. Every session gave me strength to work on my trauma to heal. He is patient, understanding, and guided me with compassion. A genuine person. I felt safe and learned so much. Highly recommend for anyone needing hypnotherapy.

I went to visit Hypnosis Houston about a month ago for my initial visit. Candidly, I went in dealing with an addictive behavior that I wanted to discontinue, and I was completely exasperated, having tried medications, traditional talk therapy, reading books and more. When I spoke with TC, the first thing that struck me is he is incredibly insightful and articulate. We had a conversation about my goals and about the process and what to expect, and then we did some exercises, and finally, he “hypnotized” me. I put it in quotes because it was hypnosis in the traditional sense, being put in a deep relaxed state and listening to spoken suggestions, but it’s not hokey like it is depicted on TV. After our 90 minute appointment he told me to give him a call in a week if I wanted to discuss or have another session. I did not call him, instead I went on about life and gradually things began to change. I did not notice it or attribute to the hypnosis at first, but after looking back and thinking about it, there was a marked change after my hypnosis in my own thought patterns, which in turn has changed my behavior. For example, I have been dissatisfied with my career for many years and have been told by just about everyone that I should go into business for myself, which I have always brushed off because of my aversion to risk and fear of failure. After the hypnosis, suddenly my mind is not hampered with as many of the negative messages that I used to tell myself. Instead this persistent thought keeps appearing that I control my destiny, that I can manifest anything that I desire. This thought has broken my old patterns of behavior and so many amazing things are happening in my life. I fully believe that the suggestions presented to me in my session have transformed my mind and life, because I was willing and open to the suggestion. My advice is give it a try. You have only a relatively small amount of money to lose and your whole life to gain. Try it!

I am a 27 year old that needs a transplant, but in order for me to be approved, I have to quit smoking. Which I have smoked 1-2 packs a day for closer to 15 years now. I have tried just about everything and turned to hypnosis as a last resort..and as a huge skeptic. Fast forward to first phone call: He immediately asked what my motivation was because he made it clear if I felt pressured by anyone or anything else, he couldn't help me. He's not doing this for only financial gain but the act of helping his patients. Fast forward to first meeting: session took 2 hours. He spent time asking about what I envisioned my future to be like and not all the reasons why I smoked. It seems like he's just talking like a therapist but you'll find out the entire time you are in his presence, he's working on you. I felt comfortable, and light. It's not magic, it's just a fascinating practice. AFTER HYPNOSIS CONCLUSION: for the first time in 10 years I got in my truck and didn't need to smoke. I could barely say or think the words "cigarette" or "smoke". As if it didn't exist in my vocabulary anymore. I felt like there's something I should be doing, but couldn't place it. For the first time in over a decade, I haven't had a cigarette in days, and don't feel the desire too. He trained me to think the future is more important that harmful things so I don't process the harmful thing anymore. I don't know why or how exactly it worked but I am thankful it did. I can now get on my transplant list! All because of who would've thought... Hypnosis. About the doctor: I felt comfortable, he obviously can profile people instantly so don't lie to him or the ineffectual treatment is on yourself. He is very friendly and cares about helping and connecting. I feel like HE was what set me up for success. 100/100 recommend and plan on seeing him again for sugar cravings since the first results were unbelievable!
